Synopsis

The chapter introduces Lee Chanyong, a powerful ranker struggling on the 100th floor. Lee Hojae is then pressured into participating in the competition's main round, where he quickly defeats Lee Hyoungjhin, a speed-based fighter, and a string of other rankers. Despite his victories, Lee Hojae deliberately holds back, trying not to appear too overwhelming, while also aiming to benefit the rebels by displaying his power strategically. The chapter ends with Lee Hojae reflecting on his performance and his allies' plans.
